| March 31st, 2000 ROMCO race at San Antonio, TX |
Updated Dec. 16, 2000
On March 31st, 2000 we went to the ROMCO Super Late Model race at San Antonio, TX. We had re-baselined the car over the winter and it helped. The car felt more stable, but a push developed after the tires got hot. We tried to correct this during practice, but did not make a big enough change. Turns out the right front A-frame mounts had slipped. I hung on and finished the race in 12th place. I also want to thank Clint and his Mom and Dad for helping at the track and storing the car in their garage overnight. - Kris|

| Race time. Me inside of Chris Davidson in turn four. The right front top A-frame mounts slipped during the race and made the car steering feel vague for the entire race. | Me outside of Ralph Burris in turn two. This is just before the back strech whoop-dee-do. That bump almosts launches the car airborne. | Dad giving the tow truck a once over in the Motel parking lot on Sunday morning. We had stashed the car at Clint's parent's house after the race. |
